Oooo! I'll definitely look that up, I had no idea they got that far in development.

My favorite band of all time is Guided by Voices. Started out in the 80s recording on four track cassettes and pressing 500 copies of the record playing local dive bars. In the early 90s front man Robert Pollard was done after 7 albums and no success outside their hometown so he wrote their final album Propeller.

Of course that made a bit of splash and got them shows in NYC where they kind of took off (at least in 90s indie rock circles). After that success Pollard kept on going until 2004 with a rotating cast of characters when he disbanded GBV for good. I unfortunately only heard about them around this time and missed out on seeing them live.

Well when I say for good it only lasted until 2010 when the "classic lineup" reunited. They toured playing all the old hits for a yrar or two, then started releasing new music and haven't stopped.

Bob is utterly prolific and has over 100 albums to his name across various solo and side projects. I don't click as well with most of the newer stuff but I appreciate it non the less.

Pick any of the albums from 1990-96 for some lofi rock masterpieces, or 1997-2004 for some higher fidelity power pop. The lyrics and song titles are all fairly obsurd on any of them. Bee Thousand is their classic album but I'd recommend Under the Bushes, Under the Stars. Its a bit more polished than the cassette hiss of earlier stuff but still not a full studio sound.

Anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I'll have to give it another shot. Love the books but couldn't make it through the first season of the show.

Came here to talk about his show Wonder Falls. It only aired 3 episodes on Fox, but the whole season was released on DVD later. I think I'm one of thr few people who watched the live broadcast, because I was recovering from 2 surgeries for like a month, and had nothing to do. Led me to discover the whole Fullerverse.

Silver is the better conductor. Even if it is priced so that peons can afford it.

I think i could make an olympic luge record no problem. Of course the record would be quickest someone has fallen off luge. Might also be in contention for most distance covered with face scraping against ice as my body tumbles down the chute.

You don't understand how many tabs I need open.

Never really used discord in the first place. I tried to join a few support threads for random gizmos that had no forums but realized that its a terrible place for support compared to forums. The whole UI was just chaotic to me as well.

Looks like its behind glass. There seems to be a reflection in the right corner, but I can't tell for sure.

I'm pretty sure early Elvis was more sexually explicit than that show.

The halftime show artist is never my cup of tea and I'll probably never listen to Bad Bunny again but I thought it was a great show. Lots of variation in the songs which were all quite fun, and he and Gaga had great chemistry.
